GARDUNO COMPARAN, Carlos A.. Authenticity and Legitimacy of the Cultural Identity: Ideal Types Facing Modernity. Rev. filos. Univ. Iberoam. [online]. 2024, vol.56, n.157, pp.54-113.  Epub 17-Set-2024. ISSN 2954-4602.  https://doi.org/10.48102/rdf.v56i157.240.

After analyzing the discussion between Charles Taylor and Jürgen Habermas regarding the demands for public recognition of marginalized cultural groups in modern societies, it will be established that their perspective, although instructive, is insufficient to characterize these groups’ situation and understand their conflict for not taking into account the asymmetries of power and the material conditions in which they are immersed. To develop these questions, we will resort to the analysis of the situation of four ideal types -a term proposed by Hannah Arendt to locate the discussion in the existential conditions of exemplary historical figures-: Rahel Varnhagen, Yukio Mishima, Frantz Fanon and Houria Bouteldja. Based on this, it will be concluded that it is not possible to establish a general philosophical framework to understand the problem, but only to realize that it is reproduced in multiple configurations irreducible to a single model, which allows us to understand that Modernity confronts us with common problems, but not to the same limits or possibilities.

Palavras-chave : multiculturalism; decolonial theory; politics of recognition; Charles Taylor; Jürgen Habermas; Rahel Varnhagen; Yukio Mishima; Frantz Fanon; Houria Bouteldja.
